Mount Carmel sits along Utah's Scenic Byway 9, roughly 13 miles east of Zion National Park's eastern entrance. This tiny Kane County settlement has just 83 year-round residents spread across 94 square miles of high desert terrain. Most of the housing stock sits empty for much of the year. Of 88 total homes, 53 are used seasonally, giving Mount Carmel a 60% vacation-home rate.
The post office maintains only 18 PO Boxes for a community of 27 households. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery method available. Rural carrier routes serve the area, but everyone depends on that small post office for package pickup, government mail, and prescriptions. At a median home value of $687,500, these aren't budget cabins. The per capita income of $78,836 confirms this is an affluent second-home destination.
Mount Carmel's housing tells a story of preservation. A remarkable 75 homes (85% of all units) were built before 1939. These aren't new vacation developments but historic structures from the area's early settlement period. The median age of 34.3 years is younger than typical resort communities, possibly reflecting seasonal workers at nearby Zion-area attractions.
Springdale, the main gateway town to Zion National Park, lies about 17.5 miles west. Mount Carmel serves visitors and property owners who prefer the quieter eastern approach to the park. All 27 occupied homes are owner-occupied with zero renters, suggesting tight-knit property ownership rather than a rental market.
Only one street name recorded (S State St), reflecting the rural character where most properties are accessed via rural routes rather than named streets.
ZIP Code 84755 has 83 residents and 27 households (average 2.37 persons per household). The median age is 34.3 years, slightly older than the state (31.3) and younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 50.6% male and 49.4% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (88.0%, much higher than the state average of 78.7% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (4.8%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 4.8%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%).
